The Review Score of 9.9 (9.886) out of 10 for Footsteps Canwell Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
The Average Rating of 4.886 for Footsteps Canwell Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (235 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 4.886
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Footsteps Canwell Nursery & Pre-School is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 58 number of registered child places is 11.6, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Nursery Manager
Joined: 2020
I am the very proud manager of Footsteps Canwell.
I absolutely love my role here at Footsteps as Canwell is a quirky little building with a warm, home from home feel.
The team work closely together and no room is far from the other so children flow in transition between stages of the nursery as they grow and develop.
I am lucky enough to work with some of the most kind and caring practitioners who are all so passionate about their roles and the important work we do.
On site we have our own Forest School which opens up a wealth of opportunities for children to explore the wonders of the outdoor world.
Job Title: Deputy Manager
Joined: 2019
I am the Deputy Manager here at Footsteps Canwell, I been working for Footsteps since June 2019 where I began as an apprentice.
In 2021 I progressed to a room senior in the Baby room before transitioning into Rising 3’s where I previously had lots of experience.
I am versatile and adapt well with all age groups which I consider a huge strength of mine.
I truly love working within the childcare sector and giving our children the best start to life by sparking excitement and learning into their nursery days.
